wmr1980 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Hi all, Rear discs need replacing and whilst the front discs are still okay, I will probably upgrade them too. So can I have suggestions for Front and Rear Discs and pad combo please. Whilst I'm at it, I will fit some braided lines, so please feel free to suggest those too. I have UK spec GT with Brembos. I do a bit of fast road, the occasional track day, but many long road trips (i.e. to the mountains, and in France). So I do give my brakes a good bit of punishment despite living in London. Budget is around £500 but open to explore options. Cheers, Will Quote
Paddy78 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 DBA T2 rotors with Hawk pads? HEL or Goodrich braided lines... Clark Motorsport stock these I believe... I need the same very soon and these should be about the best for around £500. Quote
wmr1980 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks for the suggestion - I was expecting those 2 brands to pop up. Quote
Ridz Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 When I got my Zed almost 2 years ago, the brakes needed replacing. I took the opportunity to upgrade the Brembos with:- DBA T4 4000 Series Front and Rear Brake Discs Ferodo DS2500 Front and Rear Brake Pads Hel Brake Lines which I have found to be an impressive combination. All parts were supplied promptly and at a competitive price from Cougarstore, one of our trusted traders on the forum. 1 Quote

This setup would be excellent, especially for heavy track use, but you're talking as near as damn it £1000 for that little lot. I know you should get the best brakes you can afford, but for what the OP wants, that is overkill IMHO... not to mention double what he wants to spend. Quote

I'd love that, but it's a little bit rich for me I wouldn't mind up to maybe £100 more than my budget, but if that is close to £1000 then that is a little OTT! Thanks though much appreciated! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 We do the T2 from DBA, which offer an excellent road to fast road use, teamed up with the Hawk pads we offer they work really well... We also have the Black Diamond setup too... 1 Quote
